Victoria and Alex revealed that the process of turning “Home Again” from a demo to a finished song was a tense one. The struggle ended up being worth it, as the song serves as Devotion’s final track that nicely summarizes the album that came before it.
Victoria Legrand:
Alex and I were kind of fig...
[Verse 1]
Home again
Driven back
She's still waiting for a friend
Little purple
Organdie
Remember what you've always
Meant to me
[Refrain]
Something in the way a heart is held upon a hand
Swimmin’ in the coral waters, head above the sand
[Verse 2]
Heaven, baby
Is in the hour
With your heart in handfuls
Forbidden flowers
Bread and bonnets
Along the way
Better take your chances
While there's still a ray
[Refrain]
Something in the way a heart is held upon a hand
Swimmin’ in the coral waters, head above the sand
[Chorus]
Constant home of my devotion
Must be you, the door to open
Home again, be here, be with me
Will I swim, out on, your ocean
Constant home of my devotion
Must be you, the door to open
Home again, be here, be with me
Will I swim, out on, your ocean
Constant home of my devotion
Must be you, the door to open
Home again, be here, be with me
Will I swim, out on, your ocean
